Anti-unbalance : This safety device keeps the appliance stable during the final spin dry sequence. If the load of linen is badly distributed (low load or knotted linen), the final spin dry cycle will not take place. The linen will simply be allowed to drip dry. 7 Washing hints You are advised not to leave your laundry too long, especially when damp. Damp laundry produces moult and unpleasant smells. Moult stains cannot be removed. cold, they may not dissolve adequately. We suggest the use of liquid detergents. How much laundry can be washed in one load?Strictly speaking you should always weigh your laundry. The drum will take a maximum of 5 kg of cotton and linen. For synthetics and delicate fabrics, the maximum load is 2, 5 kg and for wool, 1 kg. As weighing can be complicated, we suggest you estimate the weight according to how full the drum is: cotton and linen : drum full not too tighty packed resistant synthetics : no more than 2/3 of the drum delicate fabrics and wool : no more than 1/2 of the drum. Temperatures We suggest that white cotton and linen, if it is not excessively soiled, can be washed at 60° instead of 90°C. There should be no reduction in performance, but there will be an energy saving of approximately 30%. The same applies to a lesser extent to fast coloured garments. They usually require a temperature of 60°C but if they are not excessively dirty, you will have satisfactory results at 40°C. Garments with non-fast colours should not be washed at temperatures above 40°C. If fast and non-fast colours are washed together, they should be treated as non-fast colours and therefore the temperature should not exceed 40°C. Resistant white and coloured synthetics can normally be washed at 60°C but also in this case 40°C is sufficient if the laundry is not excessively dirty.
